"EDWARD B. ROSE - Born East Greenwich, R. I., in 1842; he attended the public schools in Bristol and began to learn printing in the office of the Phoenix of that town in 1857; on becoming a journeyman he worked in Fall River, Mass., on the News; in Dover, N. H., on the Gazette, and in Providence on the Post and Evening Press, joining No. 33 Jan. 11, 1862. In 1863 he enlisted in the navy and was appointed hospital steward on the sloop-of-war Vandalia; he resigned in 1864, shipped again as landsman, was promoted to doctor's steward, and served until July 11, 1865. He then returned to the printing trade and Providence, and became foreman of the Herald. In 1872, when the Boston Globe was started, he accepted the position of assistant foreman on that paper. Before leaving the Herald he was presented with a solid gold chain and a Masonic keystone with the Masonic emblems of the various degrees he had passed through. In 1873 he returned to the foremanship of the Herald, and in the spring of that year, when the paper suspended, he went to the Journal. In three weeks he was made assistant foreman and later foreman, holding the latter position about 16 years. In 1889, on account of sickness, he became a day assistant, which position he now holds. In the 34 years of his work on the Journal he has handled nearly all the advertisements that have been published in that paper, especially the 'legals,' and with very few errors. Mr. Rose is an honorary member of St. John's Lodge, No. 1, A. F. and A. M., of Portsmouth, N. H.; Providence Royal Arch Chapter of Masons; Providence Lodge, K. of H.; Calvary Commandery, K. T.; Westminster Lodge of Odd Fellows; honorary member of Daughters of Rebekah Lodge. LESTER E. ROSS - Was admitted by card to Providence Union July 9, 1870; he was publisher of the Sun in 1876, when it became a daily. ARTHUR H. ROSSALL - Born Rochdale, England, May 8, 1870; served his apprenticeship with his uncle, John R. Cort, on the Webster Weekly Times; afterward worked in Southbridge and Attleboro, Mass.; 'made up' the first edition of the Attleboro Daily Sun; initiated into Providence Union Aug. 31, 1890, and worked in this city on the Telegram until the lockout on that paper during the foremanship of Clarke, when he refused to surrender his Union card as the price of retaining a situation; went to Boston and held cases from life to death of the Boston News. In 1894 he returned to Webster and was editor of the Times for six years; in 1890 returned to Boston and worked on the Journal, where he learned to operate the linotype; soon after he received a civil service appointment for the Government Printing Office at Washington, where he is now located. CHARLES J. ROTHEMICH - Born Providence in 1880; learned trade of linotype machinist on Evening Telegram, beginning in 1896; initiated into Providence Union Aug. 26, 1900; at present employed on the News-Democrat." continued in part 162.

Thanks Mike for letting us know that the site has some new material.  It's a great site as you've noted for those with Derbyshire ancestry. Samuel Slater came from Belper in Derbyshire.  For all the times I've gone to Slater Mill in Pawtucket for one event or another, I've rarely considered who else may have come to RI from Belper and the surrounding area to assist in getting his new cotton mill in Pawtucket up and running.

These documents contain the names of folks not just from Derbyshire but also from throughout the British Isles. Why they were in Derbyshire and not the Counties they would expect to be in can be for numerous reasons. Settlement Certificates; give the names of people who had left one parish for a new one. Should they fall on hard times, then the "new" parish had a right to send them back Settlement Examinations: were conducted to ascertain a persons last legal settlement before being removed to that place. These documents can give a lot of very interesting details. Removal Orders; were the instrument by which means a person(s) were removede to their last legal Settlement. Also included is a section on Rogues and Vagabonds, Bastardy, Apprenticeships and Miscellany, plus other categories. If your ancestor is missing, they may just show up here. mike. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~spire/Yesterday/index.htm ------------------------------- RIGENWEB MAILING LIST LIST TOPIC: The discussion, exchange, and research of genealogy and history information pertaining to Rhode Island.
